At Caron Atlanta, Inc. we are committed to providing individuals and families with a continuum of care that includes addressing one’s educational and academic goals. We are excited to be providing a college admissions immersive experience that aims to support students to address their educational disruption and/or academic concerns in a way that promotes strength and self-awareness and helps the student create an action plan for college applications and transitioning from high school to college.
This 4-day intensive workshop is based on the tenets of Caron Atlanta’s clinical philosophy while also integrating the data and research developed by the Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE). ARHE is “the only association exclusively representing collegiate recovery programs (CRPs) and collegiate recovery communities (CRCs), the faculty and staff who support them, and the students who represent them.”
